Sentinels of the Multi-Verse Tempest Guide

Ride the storm. This episode is your practical, no-fluff guide to Tempest in the Sentinels of the Multiverse video game—covering reliable AOE crowd control, conditional healing, and sneaky burst lines that close games.

What you’ll learn

• Core game plan: Stabilize boards with multi-target lightning/cold, then pivot to finishers while sprinkling in team sustain.

• Priority cards & why they matter:

  • Cleansing Downpour — repeatable team heal; wins grindy fights.

  • Lightning Slash — efficient single-target burst.

  • Chain Lightning / Ball Lightning — premium multi-target control.

  • Localized Hurricane — turbo-draw; manage the self-damage safely.

  • Otherworldly Resilience — mitigation so your engines stick.

  • Reclaim from the Deep — recursion to loop key powers.

  • Aquatic Correspondence — targeted setup/draw support.

  • Vicious Cyclone (if available) — sustained ping machine.

• Power sequencing & setup: When to turn on Localized Hurricane, how to heal through its drawback, and the right cadence for Cleansing Downpour vs damage powers.

• Matchup plans:

  • Wide enemy fields → lean into Chain Lightning/Ball Lightning, then stabilize with Downpour.

  • Tall single boss → stack Lightning Slash + recursion and keep DR up.

  • Environment-heavy → use damage spreads to clip adds while you heal off chip.

• Team synergies: Tempest loves heroes who:

  • Grant extra power uses (more Downpours or Hurricanes),

  • Provide damage boosts (turns pings into pressure),

  • Offer damage reduction (offset Hurricane/self-damage),

  • Manipulate turn order or card draw (faster to core kit).

• Common pitfalls (and fixes):

  • Turning on Localized Hurricane too early → secure DR or healing first.

  • Over-healing with Downpour while the board snowballs → clear threats, then top off.

  • Burning your recursion on low-impact targets → save Reclaim for finishers or engines.

• Advanced tips:

  • Hurricane math: if you can net-heal ≥ self-damage per round, the draw engine is safe.

  • AOE into heal loop: clear adds → Downpour to erase chip → resume pressure.

  • Recursion lines: Reclaim → reshuffle Chain Lightning/Ball Lightning → redraw with Hurricane.

TL;DR play pattern

1. Stabilize with multi-target damage

2. Turn on defense/heal (Downpour/Resilience)

3. Enable card flow (Hurricane)

4. Loop burst/recursion to close

Whether you need a team medic, an add sweeper, or a draw engine, Tempest brings the weather you want—on demand.
